Ashdown said the man was taken to University Hospitals Elyria Medial Center then flown by LifeFlight to MetroHealth Medical Center in Cleveland. The pedestrian’s condition is not available.

The driver, a 49-year-old man, was going east on Griswold Road and conditions were wet, rainy, and dark when the collision occurred, Ashdown said. Speed and alcohol “do not appear to be contributing factors to the collision,” Ashdown said.
